I need to create a chart with stacked columns, but I need 2 values for x
axis. Here is what I need exactly.

Month Column1a Column1b Column2a Column2b
Jan 2005 125 50 85 30
Feb 2005 273 99 49 21
Mar 2005 148 64 59 88
Apr 2005 204 12 167 102

whereby the x axis is the month
and the first stacked column is 1a and 1b
and the second stacked column is 2a and 2b.

Can someone send me or direct me to somplace where I can get step by step
instructions.

Thanks much.
 
PSM,

Try rearranging you data to look like below. Assume this example covers the
range A1:D9. The letters A and B are titles in cells C1 and D1.

A B
Jan 2005 Title1 125 50
Title2 85 30
Feb 2005 Title1 273 99
Title2 49 21
Mar 2005 Title1 148 64
Title2 59 88
Apr 2005 Title1 204 12
Title2 167 102

Put your curser in cell A1 and select the range A1:D9. Create a stacked
column chart with the Chart Wizard. Be sure to choose "Series in Columns".
